" In The Grove" By plambert001 Talks Prepping and Ron Foster Audio Books

“Prepping” is the somewhat new term for being prepared. When I was
growing up, it was a way of life! Grandpa and Grandma had their farm
growing everything they needed and canned foods to get through the harsh
winters of upstate New York. Grocery stores, tv, and complacency have
taken us away from these roots which there is a great need to return to
now. The major storm “Sandy” was a good example of what can happen and
a lot of people relied on the “preppers” for help when the government
and local authorities didn’t do Anything!
Over years of moving a lot, having kids then divorcing and being a
single Mom for 9 years, then personal illness and loss of my second
husband, I never could get much put back as it seemed the hard times
never ended. My sister, a Mormon, gave me lists for a years supply of
basics to keep and I started picking at the lists, never seeming to get
ahead. But with all the crazy weather, chemical and oil spills
everywhere, economies collapsing and threats of government takeover and
EMP, a sense of urgency was creeping in to really get serious about it.
Then last year, I was blessed to meet a wonderful man whom Off The
Grid Magazine labeled “ one of the most academically and technically
trained preppers in America “!http://www.offthegridnews.com/2013/04/11/part-i-interview-with-author-of-the-prepper-trilogy-ron-foster/
Ron is one of those uniquely blessed people that almost never forgets
anything he has experienced/learned. He has helped me see that I had
more than I thought in the way of preps but I’m also sadly lacking in a
lot of areas. I started reading his books and loved the ideas and tips
in them plus the way he writes feels like it’s your story and you’re
right there in it! I liked them so much, I nudged him into the audio
market and even helped produce some of his books into audio! He really
cares about our fellow man being prepared for what’s coming and having
worked in/with the government, knows we Have to become self-reliant
because no one else is going to “come save you”!
It’s never too late to start prepping a little bit at a time or as
much as you can! A good start could be reading/listening to Ron Foster
books such as the “Preppers Road March” Trilogy and “Solitary Man”
series through Amazon.com and Audible.com. His “Rural Ranger” is best
in book form as it teaches a lot on trapping and snares with
illustrations too.
Me? I’m officially a “prepper” now and loving it! There are so many
online resources and broadcasts with chat features that you can quickly
build knowledge as well as community that there is no excuse for Not
being “prepared”!
